A magnetostrictive element for use in a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance marker is formed by annealing a continuous ribbon of an amorphous metal alloy. The alloy ribbon is transported from reel to reel through an oven in which a transverse saturating magnetic field is applied to the ribbon. The annealed ribbon is cut into discrete strips which are suitable for use as magnetostrict...

The present invention is related to deep-drawing apparatus for the fabrication of polymer products, said apparatus comprising a framework (1), heater elements (2) mounted to said framework in an infeed/heating arrangement for a polymer sheet blank (3) to be moulded, clamping elements (4) for fixing said polymer sheet blank in place and a mould (5), on which the heated polymer sheet blank (3) is ar...

The present invention is a well logging cable including first conductor elements, each of the first elements consisting of a steel wire surrounded by copper strands and covered in an electrically insulating material, and at least one second conductor element including at least one optical fiber enclosed in a metal tube, copper strands surrounding the tube and the strands covered by the electricall...

The invention relates to a narrow band integrated application network with multifunctionality, for instance for PSTN, ISDN, NMT, GSM and DECT. The network has a logical and physical structure including functional subnetworks for managing different functions with defined interfaces between them. The network can be divided into a mobility network, a service network, a switching network and a connect...

A method of selecting a washing cycle for an intelligent appliance uses several factors to make a cycle selection. The first factor is a combination of the water turbidity, conductivity and temperature as well as the wash arm speed. The other factors are the average of previously selected cycles, the number of times the appliance door has been opened, and the time between wash cycles. The applianc...

Cooling chamber which is of the type installed in a rolling line downstream of the last finishing stand and/or between the finishing stands and comprises a casing (11) containing a cavity (18) for circulation of a cooling fluid cooperating with a lateral opening (17) permitting immission of a cooling fluid and positioned on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the casing (11), the cas...

A grass bag sleeve is disclosed having a sewing section for interconnection to a fabric grass bag and an attachment section for snap-on interconnection to the frame of a grass bag opening.

An improved reductive amination catalysts comprising at least one catalytically effective reduction amination metal incorporated with a transitional alumina carrier which consists of delta, theta, gamma/theta, delta/theta, theta/alpha alumina phases, or a mixture thereof. These catalysts are useful in the production of alkyleneamine compositions having lower levels of cyclic components comprises a...

The present invention provides a method and process for an Internet WWW user to rapidly display on her browser, a high quality comicstrip type sumrnary representation of a much larger multirnedia work, which work would normally require significant time and network bandwidth to transmit to the user, wherein the comicstrip summary includes an audio portion of the work related to the scenes selected ...

The method involves calculating positions of excitation pulses in several calculation stages in accordance with a first method. The positions of the excitation pulses in several calculation steps are calculated in accordance with a second method. Each stage has a starting point from one of several positions (mi,mk,mr) calculated in accordance with the first method to obtain one of the pulse placem...

A magnetostrictive element for use in a magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance marker is formed by annealing a continuous ribbon (28) of an amorphous metal alloy. The alloy ribbon is transported from reel (24) to reel (26) through an oven (22) in which a transverse saturating magnetic field (33) is applied to the ribbon. The annealed ribbon is cut into discrete strips which are suitable...
